MATCHA Writer is a writing environment that lets students prove their authorship. For in-class activities, it offers a digital alternative to pencil and paper by blocking copy-paste, automation, and other ways of importing AI-generated answers. For at-home work, MATCHA promotes integrity by creating comprehensive proofs of work , including all reading done for a paper, and facilitating in-person authorship assessment quizzes . MATCHA also streamlines academic writing with automatic citation from quotations, citation insertion from research indexes, and an optional pedagogical AI assistant.

Don't detect AI, prevent it.

Detecting and policing AI misuse is costly, ineffective, and fraught.

MATCHA's approach is to preempt AI misuse by blocking or deterring it.

For educators

Three supervision models. One app.

In class

MATCHA prevents AI misuse on the student’s computer with Single-App Mode and Copy-Paste Control , while the instructor ensures no other device is used. Unlike locked browsers designed for taking exams on LMSes, MATCHA is a full word processor, which is both better for writing and better for preventing AI misuse.

Supervised writing labs

A MATCHA-enabled innovation, supervised writing labs let students work on their own time. MATCHA's unique Check-In feature ensures students work on their assignments only while checked into a lab. By repurposing existing space and teaching resources, this new approach enables fair essay assessments in the age of AI while improving the student's experience through increased supervision and community.

At home

MATCHA deters AI misuse in unsupervised settings by allowing instructors to reward students for their work process rather than just their output. This is achieved with Complete Work History , which records and summarizes all work done, including reading in the built-in browser, allowing instructors to quickly assess level of effort. In addition, MATCHA-facilitated in-person authorship assessment follow-up quizzes further raise the bar for AI misuse.

We have AI too—Pedagogical AI

MATCHA comes with an optional AI assistant that can be configured to act as a tutor.

Optional AI assistant

AI that helps students learn.

MATCHA's optional, instructor-configured AI assistant can offer help with grammar, style, and, if desired, composition. Best of all, it has a pedagogical mode, in which it guides students to make their own corrections, facilitating learning.

For authors and creators

Human creations are valuable in virtue of their origin.

Record the act of writing

MATCHA lets all content creators document their work's origination process, which is becoming increasingly important in the age of AI. Unlike other edit-tracking tools, MATCHA is a secure environment that can block all automation—if it's written with MATCHA, it's written by a human being. MATCHA's Complete Work History feature can also record all browser-based work (e.g. researching) and summarize the reading that went into your final product.

Full authorship accountability

With MATCHA, professionals can deliver certified documents that carry with them extensive proof of human work, helping build trust with clients.
